New to the forum, Hello, Pictures of swords WARNING LARGE PICS

Yes, the wakizashi must be polished - I fear the cost would be more than it is worth. A dealer in such swords at the 2007 Blade Show said it was 17th century. My aunt got it in the 40's in Japan from her "houseboy." All I can say is that, happily, I wasn't the one to damage it.

Does anyone know if the mandau has any steel or is it Iron?

The table, I think, is German.
